BIOGRAPHY

Fatin Nur Majdina Nordin currently serves as a senior lecturer at the Programme of Applied Science with Islamic Studies, Academy of Islamic Studies, Universiti Malaya. She integrates scientific knowledge with Islamic principles in her academic journey, creating a compelling approach to her research and teaching.

She holds a bachelor's degree in Applied Science with Islamic Studies majoring in Biohealth Science and Islamic Studies (BAScIStud), and a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Medicine, focusing on Dentistry and Islamic Studies. Her master's thesis explored the use of Salvadora persica (miswak) in oral health care. She pursued a PhD in Science, Technology, and Health, investigating the effectiveness of product labels in communicating ingredient risks and the production of safe and halal cosmetics. She bridges the gap between science and Islamic perspectives, particularly in the realms of science, technology, and Islam, through her multidisciplinary research experience. 

Beyond her academic endeavors, she actively engages in initiatives aimed at raising awareness about mental hygiene, promoting environmental health, and advancing the empowerment of women, all within the framework of Islamic principles. Her research interests include Health and wellbeing, Halal science, Integration of knowledge, Personal and environmental hygiene, and the role of women in Islam.
